A Vegan Italian Sub | VeganMoFo 2019 Day Twenty-Nine

This morning, I was chilly getting out of the shower. This means only one thing: autumn is coming.

NOOOO.

Ugh, I’m not ready! I am a perpetual heat-seeker, a lizard in human form, a freak who loves humidity and scorching temperatures. I require at least one more month of warmth before descending into the interminable chill. No talk of apple picking or pumpkin spice or colorful leaves will change my mind. Dramatic sigh.

Super glamorous work desk shot, right here.

Enough of that. Onto the food. Today was a bit odd, meal-wise. I had an unforgivably light breakfast (a single Larabar, ugh!) and thus was required to eat my lunch (leftovers from yesterday) around 11. My stomach was grumbling by 1, so I had a peach, and then knew I’d require a more substantial second lunch. Well, I just so happened to have a 2:00 dermatologist appointment right next door to Firehouse Deli (that of the surprisingly wide vegan selection), so I was compelled to get a vegan Italian sub (cold cuts, cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, an herby vinaigrette). All in the name of supporting local businesses, right?!

It was just what the doctor ordered (not my dermatologist; she didn’t order anything). Super filling, relatively inexpensive, and quick. And while I was there, I noticed a sign for the Impossible Burger — apparently they’re serving it now! (And by “sign,” I mean that they printed out a graphic from the Impossible Burger site and pasted it onto a piece of cardboard. Adorable.) Good to know!

So, having had a 3:00 p.m. lunch, when will I be hungry for dinner?! I suspect I’ll feel some rumblings around 7. I’m about to put a loaf of sourdough bread in the oven, and I’ve got some Violife cheddar from last week’s sandwiches… perhaps a grilled cheese with garden tomatoes is in order, with a side of kale salad. We shall see.

(Oh, and about the weather — it jumped back into the 80s today and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. So it’s only the chilly nights and mornings that are harbingers of autumn’s inevitable arrival.)
